“d.a.m.n it! Where did that demon come from?”

A person staggered into the depths of the forest with a pale face. There was fear in his eyes, and he was still badly shaken.

He was Orange’s companion, who was the one who had not joined the slaughter between the sect members. Since their relations.h.i.+p was pretty good, he had taken the initiative to follow after Nian. While the two sides were engaged in an intense battle, he chased Nian and continued to leave even more wounds on it, who was already covered in blood.

However, he was still “lucky” enough to witness the entire process of his sect members being slaughtered by the mysterious “man” using flying needles. If it had not been because Nian was already at its last breath and about to die and drop loot, he would have run far away a long time ago to hide from danger.

However, while Nian had indeed sustained a lot of damage, Orange’s friend was just a normal Blessed Realm player without a high-tier martial art, so he was caught in an embarra.s.sing situation. Even though he cut at Nian dozens of times, it did not have any effect. Nian continued to stagger forward like an injured lion.

The player wanted to cry, but had no tears and felt incredibly anxious. With an incredibly distressed expression, he watched Nian continue running away while feeling so gloomy that he wanted to vomit blood.

If he dragged on the fight any longer, the strange person would definitely catch up to him, and at that time, if Nian was not dead yet, he himself would be the one to die…

“d.a.m.n it! Will you just die already!”

At some unknown point in time, a clear, cheerful, and pink peach blossom forest appeared in front of the man. Nian did not seem to have noticed it and just continued to run ahead with its injured body.

But the man was astonished. He immediately recognized that it was where the outer sect of the incredibly famous s.h.i.+fting Flower Palace was located in Wuhu. Their disciples covered their faces and acted as bandits, but more importantly, they were really powerful. Not only did they have high-tier lightness skills and sword techniques, but their body fortification techniques could be used to take damage in their place as well. It was a very good way to reduce the damage taken.

Their abilities were at the later stage of Mystical Realm, and usually, when someone entered the peach blossom forest by coincidence, they were unable to come out alive after running into the Masked Female Bandits.

“d.a.m.n it! So unlucky!”

The man was completely depressed. There was an incredibly fierce and evil murderer chasing after him, and before him was a dangerous place from which he would not be able to return. No matter where he went, he would die.

But when he thought about it from another angle…

‘What if that person ran into a Masked Female Bandit in the peach blossom forest after following me?’

Once the idea formed in his mind, his eyes lit up.

‘I have a chance to survive!’

His spirits lifted, and he braced himself to enter the peach blossom forest while running after Nian. With gritted teeth, he increased his attacking speed.

But unfortunately for him, soon after he ran into the forest, a gentle but demonic voice that sounded like a woman’s came from behind him.

“Still running?”

A powerful aura descended from the sky. Not only did it attract the attention of the multiple Masked Female Bandits in the area, it also upset the man who had just thought about how he could possibly survive and become rich. When he turned his head around to look, a mysterious “man” in a brocade robe the color of flowers appeared sixty-four feet away from him with a cold smile.

It was a really exaggerated entrance.

“Screw you— Urk!”

Before Orange’s friend could finish cursing vulgarly, the mysterious “man” raised his hand and threw a flying needle.

The man coughed up blood and opened his mouth with great difficulty. He was horrified and filled with despair. He tried to use his sword to cut off the thread connected to the flying needle in his mouth, but his sword could not cut it. The thread was as tough as steel. Aside from causing him even more pain and further aggravating his injury, which made him cough up another mouthful of blood, his actions served no purpose.

“De… Mon!”

The mysterious man continued to stand in the air. When he heard the curse the man laboriously stammered out, he did not say anything. He did not immediately kill the man either. He just cast an indifferent glance at Nian and threw another flying needle at it to pull it back when it tried to flee without a direction. Then, he turned his head around and raised his chin with a coquettish look. He looked down and stared into the direction of two pretty and pink figures that came charging at him from the sides.

He wiped his pink handkerchief lightly over his red lips.

As the mysterious “man’s” feminine actions became more and more natural, his aura also became more astonis.h.i.+ng. It was as if as long as he made a feminine gesture freely and casually, he would become stronger.

“Who are you?! How dare you invade s.h.i.+fting Flower Palace’s peach blossom forest?!” demanded a clear, feminine and charming voice.

Two Masked Female Bandits appeared before the mysterious “man’s” eyes. They ignored Orange’s companion, who even had trouble speaking, and stared at the mysterious “man” who stood in the air with a solemn expression. He appeared like a demon in their eyes.

Once they noticed the flying needles and thread in his hands, the Masked Female Bandits’ faces changed.

Clang! Clang!

They drew their swords from the sheaths and pointed them at the mysterious man. Their blades shone with a chilling glow.

“Needle Tide! Sunflower Manual! Who are you to Dongfang Bubai?!”

“What are your intentions for coming to s.h.i.+fting Flower Palace’s peach blossom forest?! Speak!”

The mysterious man did not say anything. When he heard their words, he just smiled coldly and derisively. With a graceful move, he twirled the hair in front of his chest before turning his gaze to the side. It was clear that he was not at all interested in conversing with the NPCs.

“Extremist! Die!”

The two pink Masked Female Bandits moved at the same time. They left an afterimage where they stood and appeared thirty two feet away. They were so quick and agile that it was shocking to see.

Once they moved, the mysterious man spun and jumped up with a resolute move. He threw his pink handkerchief high into the air and flicked his wrists. He finally got rid of the nameless n.o.body by the side, and astonis.h.i.+ng strength exploded from the gentle threads. They yanked the gigantic Nian backwards and made it fall headfirst in the dust not too far away.

Once he freed the threads, the mysterious man moved his arms. He threw multiple flying needles with crystalline heads attached to them, and there was a hissing sound as they rushed through the air.

The Masked Female Bandits’ expressions changed drastically. They quickly stopped moving and swung their swords.

Cling! Cling!

Amateurs who just entered the world of martial artists would never be able to compare to the perception of martial artists at the later stage of Mystical Realm. Most of the ten flying needles were instantly knocked to the side.

However, there were still a few that shot through the Masked Female Bandits’ body fortification techniques and grazed their bodies.

The mysterious man was like a deity. While he had nothing in the air to support him, he let out demonic-sounding giggles that were as soft as a woman’s and moved around the Masked Female Bandits. He threw the needles nonstop and left behind fine wounds on their pink-robed bodies.

With his power alone, he managed to toy with the two Masked Female Bandits, which was a clear sign of astonis.h.i.+ng strength!

When it seemed like the Masked Female Bandits would soon be unable to escape from the fate of being killed by the mysterious man, his expression suddenly changed. One of the needles changed direction and did not target the two Masked Female Bandits. It traveled in the opposite direction and went into the depths of the peach blossom forest. At the same time, the mysterious man let out a shrill and cold snort.

“Come out!”

His flying needle flew into the forest and instantly fell silent.

The next moment, a young man came out of the depths of the peach blossom forest. He might have looked calm, but it was obvious that he was trying to hold back his laughter.

The mysterious man’s face instantly became very unpleasant. “If you laugh, I’ll sew your mouth shut!” His voice was as shrill and feminine as ever.

“What now? I didn’t provoke you! I was training by the side, and I only ran over here to take a look when I heard a ruckus. Alright, alright, don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. So, big sis, don’t kill me to seal my mouth shut, okay?”

The newcomer had a grin on his face and did not look serious. There was no need to even guess that the person was no one else but Little North, who had come with Happy to do some level-grinding in peach blossom forest.

“So noisy!”

The mysterious man’s gaze turned fierce. Two flying needles shot out from his sleeves.
